We dont know their spending but VW certainly had plenty of money. But whatever it was, they came in and utterly dominated the existing WRC teams.

To me i wasnt just money though, but rather that their greater professionalism = Better. And as stated Ogier/Ingrassia had a lot to do with that too.

They gave Ogier a year in the Fabia to prepare; their Polo WRC was a tank as well as fast; Ogier drove the team and engineers to excel; and Jost Capito had huge experience and left no stone unturned or anything to chance. VW Motorsport was a machine !
